Another thing that came to mind is how since September, there has been this whole war thing going on in the Naruto RPG. It finally clicked: this is what’s slowing everything down. The alliances, the wars. And these sorts of things should have been an event to begin with. Everyone was forcing themselves to take part in this mess, but did everyone really want to?

This was giving the characters playing village leaders too much power. They were deciding for every character within their village about who their friends and foes were. You know, that’s not cool. It’s too bad we didn’t realize this until too late. The Naruto RPG could’ve been somewhere more fun now. But all we can do is learn from this, and stop the war thing that just one or two people are pushing from continuing. It isn’t fair if only one or two RPers control the fate of everyone else’s.

Anyway, moving on, the preparations for Shoda and Shigeko’s wedding are happening right now! A group of people from Konoha headed over to the old, deserted Konoha, along with Kinyoubi and Neriki. They’re going to fix it up a bit so that the wedding ceremony can be held there. Then, after Shoda basically kicked out all the village leaders, he sent Zeni to Kankyou Town, the place where the wedding reception will be held.

This all seems to be working out well.

In some other Naruto RPG news, Versin is still in Kirigakure, but is trying to escape now. A little while back, I began using one of my new characters. She is a Genin Suna-nin named Nagahama Hiromi. However, she goes by Hiro. I started posting with her again today.

Meanwhile, Kirigakure is under attack by the Kusa missing-nin Versin/Ninstruck. My character Michi and Schro’s Luttes are taking the S-Class on. Apparently, he thinks he can just join up against the organization of Kurotaka peacefully after killing two Kiri Jounin. Ha, what?

I’m currently working on a new Bleach RPG character. This one will be an academy student, and through hard work, will rise through the ranks. I am also making the Yuki-nin I put together earlier for the Naruto RPG, Shirosaki Norio, a Genin instead of a Chuunin. I’m having difficulty deciding what exactly he should specialize in, so I figured that I could just play with him, and in time, figure it out. Let him grow into what he does.

I’m also trying to push for the 666 Satan RPG to begin soon.

On another TN-related note, two members from the RPG took their leave from TalkNaruto: legendary RPer Chronicknave (username now Kaizer) and the very helpful Zepzune (currently SooperTrooper). They seem to never want to come back, and although we shall miss them, it is really up to them to decide what to do. Although I do feel it is a bit dumb to declare leaving forever, not even giving an option for occasional visits, again it’s what they want to do. If they really do never come back, I will accept it. And if they do eventually come back, well, then that’s fine, too. I wouldn’t make a big deal about it really. I’d rather have friends come back anyway.
